Corrections and clarifications

• A comment article about a failed high court challenge by Tony Nicklinson, who seeks the right to die, incorrectly stated that "In Oregon, where the law allows it, the terminally ill know they can call for an injection whenever they feel they can take no more". Oregon does allow someone suffering from a terminal disease to end his or her life but it does not allow mercy killing by lethal injection or any other means. However, it does allow a person suffering from a terminal disease to voluntarily request a prescription for medication to end his or her life (Would you be happy to live like Tony Nicklinson?, 17 August, page 35).

• Antonis Samaras, prime minister of Greece, is usually described as a conservative politician as he formerly led the centre-right New Democracy party, not "leftwing prime minister" as we had it (Merkel allies rule out third rescue package for Greece, 20 August, page 15).

• The Guardian's compass went a little awry over the weekend. One of the V Festival sites is Weston Park in Staffordshire, not Leeds as it was located in a preview of the festival, and Alderley Edge is in Cheshire, not near it as we maintained in an interview with the novelist Alan Garner, who lives there (V Festival: Chelmsford & Leeds, 18 August, page 27, The Guide; The books interview, 18 August, page 11, Review).
